FOLEY IS DEFINITELY NOT THE VICTIM HERE

Has it become impossible for people to claim responsibility for their own actions?

Every day the Mark Foley scandal becomes more and more sickening. First, he said he was an alcoholic and checked himself into rehab.

Now, he was molested as a child in church. His lawyer also threw out the fact that Foley is gay, as if that can somehow justify his behavior.

The fact is, the entire country knows what's wrong with Foley, except Mark Foley. Mark Foley is a pedophile. Not an alcoholic, and definitely not a victim.

With each passing day, I am more and more sickened by the sight of his face even being on television. For all the good he has done as a congressman -- and even his detractors admit, he did do good things as a representative -- nothing he can do will ever let him lead an ordinary life again. He has embarrassed himself, Congress, the people he represents, and the country.

Foley should call a news conference, of course, against the will of his attorneys, and tell the world he is sick. Admit for all to see and hear, he has come to terms with his sickness, and is checking into a rehabilitation center for sexual predators. Then beg for the people he represented to forgive him. He will have plenty of free time while incarcerated to make peace with himself as well as his maker.
